ROLL-WINDING DEVICE.

To all lwhom tf/nay concern.'

Be it known that I, MAURICE J. STACK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cohoes, in the county of New York, have invented proved Roll-finding Device, following is a specification.

The invention has for its object. to provide a particularly simpleroll winder structure economic to manufacture and efficiently effective in use as a means for evenly andsystematically rolling continuous lengths of material, suchy as cotton batting adapted for use in automobile upholstering or the like, into suitably proportioned rolls for shipment in accordance with -the improved method of preparing such batting disclosed 'in my application for -Patent Serial No. 16,079 iled March 16, 1925.

With the above and other objects in view that will hereinafter appear the invention further resides in the novel details of construction, combination and arrangement of parts, irst fully described in the following detailed description, then particularly pointed out in .the appended claims, reference Ab eing had to the accompanying drawing, in which `Figure 1 is a detail perspective View illustrating the invention in use. A

Figure 2 is an end elevation of the invention.

Figure 3 is a plan view of the' invention.

Figure t is a detail vertical section taken across the double threaded feed screw at a position of the guide horn.

Figure 5 is a detail longitudinal section of one of the tubes upon which the rolls are formed, the supporting shaft being shown in cooperative position therein.

In the drawings, end of any type of machine adapted to the forming of cotton batting in continuous length for use in automobile upholstering and the like. The final pressure rolls of the machine are indicated by the numeral 2 and the guides therefor by the numeral B. Rest rollers 4, suitably supported by the frame 5 may be provided to receive the continuous length of batting 6 as it leaves the presser rolls 2 and which serve as convenient supports sating loop of the batting may be formed at the start ol' the winding operation to compensate t'or the variations in winding surface contact during the winding of the roll a new and lmotf4 which the Application filed March 16, 1925: Serial No. 16,080.

of Albany and State wound to Y trally vertically ing winding action,

1 indicates the discharge` between which a depending compenof batting. The utility of forming the loop will be well understood when it isv considered that the feeding speed of the rolls 2 is constant while the amount of batting wound onto the winding device per revolution of the windingrollers increases graduallv as the roll wound round the receiving vcore from those rollers increases in diameter.

A suitableframing 7 is provided and a pair of relatively large winding and supporting rollers 8 are provided, the trunnions 9 of which have bearing, as at 10, upon the top end cross bars of said framing. The trunnions at like ends ofv each roller 8 maybe sprocket equipped, as at 11, and a suitable transmission chain 12 `provided to cooperatively -join said sprockets so that when power is applied to the driver sprocket with which one of the trunnions 9 is equipped, through the medium of the power chain 14.-, the rollers 8 will be causedto rotate in like direction and at the same speed-L A suitable roll end confining wing structure 15 is secured Aupon each frame end for suitably abutting the ends -of the roll as -aid in holding the same in a neat and orderly manner. Each wing 15 is censlotted as at 16 to permit the mounting, and vertical movement4 durof the roll centering and supporting rod 17 adapted. to receive vthe spacing plugs 18 and the hollow paper cores 19 uponwhich the batting rolls are wound.

For suitably guiding and positioning the coils of the batting while the roll is being wound, I provide a double threaded screw 20 the trunnions 21 of which have suitable bearings as at 22 upon the ends of the framing 7, a suitable cylindrical housing 22%. slotted as at 24 and securely mounted upon the bracket 25, is provided and serves to encase the said screw and to support and'guide movement of the guide horn tln'ouglrwhieh .the said batting is threaded.

One trunnion 21 of the screw y ed and provided with a sprocket 26 over which and over the sprocket 27 on the trun-v nion9 of the adjacent. roller end, takes the transmission chain 28, for the purpose of imparting rotative motion to the said screw 20.

'llle guide-horn above mentioned is indinv cated by the numeral 29 and it is carried b v the sleeve 25() which slidably encircles the housing 23 and is also supported by the rest block 31 which slidably engages the top 20 is extendedge of the rest sill 32. VThe sleeve 30jis equipped with a pin 33 which projects radially inward through the longitudinal slotway 24 into engagement with the double thread of the screw 20, see Figure 4.

In operation, the batting end is threaded through the hornA 29 which will be at its starting position at a proper side of the device adjacent one wing 15. The rod 17 with a paper core 19 surrounding' it will beplaced in position in the slots 16 and resting upon the rollers 8.

The end of the batting would be started around the core 19 and power applied through the connections 9-14V to rotate the rollers 8. Rotation ot' the rollers 8 effects both the winding of the batting upon the core 19 and rotation, through connections 26-28, to the screw 20. As the winding progresses the horn 29' will bev fed across the length ot' the core 19 until the first layer' is wound when the pin 33 will reach the end of' the groove directed in that direction and move into the reverse direction groove causing the horn to again traverse the length of the` core 19 to lay the second layer of batting thereon. The alternate feeding of the horn 29 from side to side effects a neatand systematic laying of the coils of .the batting in even and close edge to edge relation without any possibility of uneven strains or twisting actions being imparted to the fibres of that batting.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it is thought the novel details of construction, -manner of operation and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent to those familiar with the purposes to which the same is addressed.

What I claim is l. A roll winding device comprising a supporting frame, winding and supporting rollers mounted upon the framing, a winding core adapted to rest upon the winding and supporting rollers for receiving the roll being wound and* to be supported and rotated by said rollers for effecting the winding of said roll, means for guiding the continuous length of material as it is wound, said guiding means including a guide horn through which the material is threaded, a double threaded screw, a cylindrical stationary longitudinally slotted housing for the screw, a sleeve for .carrying the horn and slidably encircling the housing, and a pin carried by the sleeve and projected .through the slot of the housing into engagelength of the core from side to side of the framing, and means for imparting rotation to said screw from one of thesupporting and winding rollers.

2. A roll winding device comprising a supporting framing, winding and supporting rollers mounted upon the framing, a winding core adapted to rest upon the winding and supporting rollers for receiving the roll being-bund and to be supported and rotated by said rollers for effecting the winding of said roll, vertically slotted wingsl for abutting the roll ends and for guiding vertical movement of the core as said roll is wound, said core comprising a hollow cylindrical core adapted to remain in the wound roll and a supportin rod suitably spaced centrally'removably t erein and having its ends vertically movable in the slots of the wings, and means for imparting rotation to -said'winding and supporting rollers.

3. A roll` winding device comprising a supporting framing, winding and supporting rollers mounted upon the framing, a winding core adapted to rest upon the winding and supporting rollers for receiving the roll being wound and to be supported and rotated by said rollers for effecting the winding of said roll, vertically slotted wings for abutting the roll ends Aand for guiding vertical movement of the core as said roll is wound, said core comprising a hollow cylindrical core'adapted to remain in the wound roll, a supporting rod suitably spaced centrally removably therein and having its ends vertically movable in the slots of the wings, means for guiding the continuous length of materialas it is wound, said guiding means including a guide horn through which the material is threaded, a double threaded screw, a cylindrical stationary longitudinal ly slotted housing for the screw, a sleeve for carrying the born and slidably encircling the housing', a pin carried by the sleeve and projected through the slot of the housing into engagement with the double thread of the screw, whereby when the screw is rotated the horn will be caused to alternately traverse the length of the core from side to side of the framing, and means for imparting rotation to said winding and supporting rollers.
